EVEN Creamfields can get a little retro – as one DJ at this year’s festival of electronic music proves.

Naomi Kashiwagi has a spot in the Residents Bar at Daresbury this weekend, with a set performed on a pair of wind-up gramophones.

While her fellow DJs play the latest club-friendly tunes, Naomi will unashamedly spin classics such as Rock Around the Clock, In the Mood and the Pinky and Perky theme amid her collection of ‘78s.

Naomi, who makes her festival debut at this weekend’s event, said: “People are intrigued at what is involved, so rather than just listening to the music, many people like to watch the process of winding the gramaphones, changing the needles and changing the records.

“It’s my take on DJ’ing, giving them a new modern function as turntables and I’m really looking forward to Creamfields.”

Creamfields 2007 is at Daresbury, Halton, this Saturday (August 25), from 3pm to 6am.
